Kenny Burchard continues to share with Matt Swaim and Ken Hensley the story of his journey to the Catholic Faith.
At the end of the last episode, Kenny was a brand new, "born-again" Christian. He shares how in that first year that followed, his zeal overflowed in ways that ended up damaging relationships.
He was passionate about his newfound faith, but without mentors to help show him how to live it, Kenny found himself in constant debates and conflicts over matters of religion.
Kenny shares a window into what that first year as a new Christian was like, and the lessons he's learned from reflecting on it over time.

In a new series of On the Journey, Kenny Burchard begins to share with Matt Swaim and Ken Hensley the story of his journey to the Catholic Faith.
Kenny starts at the very beginning: from being given up for adoption by Catholic parents, to being adopted by parents who didn't practice religion at all, to growing up around Mormons in Utah and eventually having a "born again" experience in the 1980's that changed everything for him.
It's a great story, and we look forward to sharing more chapters from it over the next few weeks!

The Catholic Church has four marks: it is one, holy, catholic, and apostolic.
As they dig even deeper into the meaning of the word “catholic,” Matt, Ken, and Kenny look at how the Church is meant to be a home for all people, and expands Christ's mission to the ends of the earth, as the instrument of God's work in the world.

Matt Swaim, Ken Hensley and Kenny Burchard continue their series on the Church.
In both Scripture and the writings of early Christianity, the Church is repeatedly referred to as "holy." How are we to understand that, if we know that it has been full of sinners from the beginning?
Matt, Ken and Kenny look at the ways the word "holy" is used in the Bible, and how it has been used as a descriptor for the Church ever since.

“What the soul is to the human body, the Holy Spirit is to the Body of Christ, which is the Church.” - St. Augustine

And how does the Holy Spirit serve not only as a teacher and guide, but also a principle of unity and animating force in the life of the Church?
